Re:Big Fish launches real-money gambling app in UK via Betable by objclxt on Thursday August 16, 2012 @01:42PM (#4392555)
One correction - TechCrunch claim Big Fish would be "the first time a real-money gambling game will be available on the app store". That's simply not true: there are several real-money games already available in jurisdictions where online gambling is legal. The large betting exchange BetFair, for example, have a casino games app with real money: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/betfair-casino/id505191581?mt...

Correct, this is not the first real-money gambling app on iOS. However, it is the first existing iOS game wholly owned by a third party that has implemented Betable to facilitate real-money bets. So that's pretty big news for us :)
